But at the moment, they're showing a total of 8 widgets in the mylolabs gallery: the 5 Sony examples, a GMail notifier, a Netflix queue, and a Wedding Planner.

To me, "much more" seems like a mild understatement, and I'm skeptical of the need for the "at this time" qualifier. But we know not the future, so it's perhaps the most honest course.

(The mylo2 hardware, BTW, looks quite nice. If there was a UNIX system available for it, I would be very interested in it; but proprietary widget systems cramp too much for me.)
Developer's kit for creating the widgets isn't done yet (as of a few months back when I spoke to Sony/wrote Brighthand's review of the Mylo COM-2.

Would be nice to see them just jump on Opera's widget spec which has pretty much made W3C's spec. That would make things nice and simple.
